Coming up tomorrow…why Grandma Baby Showers are

Coming up tomorrow...why Grandma Baby Showers are the latest thing.

Probably because we DON'T have the latest things and we want to make sure that we have the most safe and up to date baby equipment and techniques on hand when those grandkids come to visit.

(And honestly what's a Baby SHOWER without talking about a Baby BATH? This tour sponsored by @johnsonsbabyca and their Bedtime Collection of bath products - which have been around for 125 years - even longer than me!)

Tune in at 8:40am (CST) to @ctvreginalive @ctvsaskatoonlive

My beautiful granddaughter Sloane (aka Sloanie Macaroni) is six months old! I love that my daughter @toryhalpin has a pic of the boys at same age. They all look like themselves.

What a great night with @mattdusk at @meafordhall

What a great night with @mattdusk at @meafordhall We go way back and the thing is we don’t really get more mature. Especially Matt. All of Meaford out tonight I think.

His blazer was way more fancy than mine.

So nice to finally meet up again with fellow journ

So nice to finally meet up again with fellow journo/writer @kellydeirdre as she spoke about her latest greatest book, Fashioning The Beatles, at our shared local library in @municipalityofmeaford It’s been years since we’ve seen each other! Thanks to @meafordpubliclibrary for hosting us and to @jessicasbooks in Thornbury for supporting the book sales.

My own interview with Deirdre will be aired on @zoomer_radio on the Nov 25th episode of #GoToGrandma at 7:30am and then up on the podcast Nov 28. You still have time to get the book before then or for a great Christmas gift for a Beatle lover in your family.

(And yes this is one of my cottage blazers)

In front of the camera and behind the scenes (the hammer in the light is my favourite) setting up for some tv segments to air next week on what to share at a baby shower…for grandmas.

Episode #120 of Go-To Grandma is airing this Satur

Episode #120 of Go-To Grandma is airing this Saturday, November 25th.

Yes it is exactly one month until December 25th, a time of great joy and sometimes great stress for grandparents, thinking about that perfect gift for that perfect grandchild.
If you’re like me, one of the best things we get to do as grandparents is read to our grandkids, to help foster that love of reading as they get older.

This week I speak with new author @angelaodusanya about her new book, Amelia’s Loose Part Arts, which will have your little grandkids reading and making art inspired by the loose parts in their own worlds. Then @herocomplex.ca Rob Tinkler tells us about his new book 8 Tiny Reindeer, a graphic novel about Santa and how technology impacts his world, written in an advent style, where your kids read one chapter a day starting on Dec 1st. Both innovative and fun books from Canadian authors.

While I read a ton, part of the reason I’m such an advocate of libraries is that I don’t accumulate mountains of books in my house, at a time when I’m looking to declutter. Some of you may have decluttered to the max and have already moved out of your homes to a retirement home, a smaller place, or somewhere warmer. But how do you fill your bank account the most with a house that has been emptied? Real estate broker @lisabednarski is back on the show to give us some tips on selling that vacant house.

And our Take 5 With @rbc interview will provide you with some timely cross border Black Friday shopping tips.

Tune in to @zoomer_radio at 7:30am EST on AM740, 96.7FM (downtown Toronto) or anywhere at zoomerradio.ca And don't forget to check out our first 120 shows on the podcast as well!
